Need Windows testers for 1.8.0 Beta1 (download link inside)

[GlobalPlayer]

I've just added a workaround to the GL fragment shader problem, and we'll be repackaging beta1 this week.

It would be nice if the latest changes in the 1.7 branch are merged into trunk before repacking. I'd like to see if altered thread priorities can reduce my increased latency settings.

Thanks, Tobias

These changes are already in trunk: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mixxxdevel ... ision/2266
They were merged on Jan 20th...

Hey Albert, Thanks for the update but it is still showing the same warning as before and mixxx freezes. Plus, my Mixxx 1.7.2 version won't open up now?... when i open 1.7.2 i get this warning saying "Can Not Open Data Base.." picture below.

Hi Jose,

I've just uploaded a new 1.8.0 Beta 1 package, which includes the Qt SQLite driver plugin:
http://downloads.mixxx.org/mixxx-1.8.0- ... -win32.exe

Please let me know if you get any errors on startup with this version.

Thanks (and hopefully enjoy)!
Albert

Mixxx won't open now and just gives me this (picture)
I have deleted the 1.7.2 version and rebooted but still nothing. I'll enjoy the 1.7.2 for now.

Just poking my head into this thread to say that it's working fairly smoothly on Ubuntu. The only issues I've had have been:
1) Every so often, whilst loading a track when another one is playing, the audio pauses for a second or so. I was DJing at a party the other night, and that happened a few times in the first half-hour, then seemingly stopped (though we may have drunk too much to notice by that point )
2) Where has the BPM tapping option gone? :\

Otherwise, seems good to me

I'm sorry, but I also can't give any good news. My hardware is a usual laptop with a Core2Duo T 5250 @ 1.50GHz and Intel GMA3100 graphics with newest drivers. I also run WinXP Pro SP3 and Win7 parallel. On WinXP I get an error message that the program isn't configured properly and that I should reinstall it. It won't open at all. On Win7 I get the same error about the library that Jose showed.

I'm running beta on a different flavor of linux (PCLOS) and I'm getting the SQL-Lite Library connect bug, but only when I attempt a rescan. That's been the only major bug I've encountered thus far.


Quick question to the admins... I know this is a thread about beta testing the Windows version, so I was also hesitant to post any linux-related comments here. Are we going to get a thread to report issues in the other OSes?

[Tensi]

I'm getting

'Unable to establish a database connection.
Mixxx requires QT with SQLite support. Please read the QT SQL driver documentation for information on how to build it.'


I assume you want it to boot up without that happening.
until then I'm getting all the QT/SQL recommended in the Wiki.

Edit: I downloaded all the drivers and QT/SQL necessities. still didn't work.

Getting the same error as Tensi and jose with latest Beta 1 build. All previous versions of Mixxx removed.
